Sikcell: People living with Sickle Cell

We still Hope

Worried Mommy

Hello. My husband and I just adopted our precious son, Markelle Isaiah, who has SCD, SS. He's 3 weeks old, so he hasn't had any symptoms yet. We didn't know much about SCD until Markelle joined our family, but we've done tons of research and get the basics of the disease. More than anything I would love to connect with people who are actually living with SCD and tips from parents of SS children. I'm feeling a little lost. Thanks, Erika

All the best to you and your family.

I have a 14 yrs old with SCD, SS, she started getting complains at the age of 4.

they told us that's when it starts to show itself.

Its been a long tough road for us. But with our Faith, we've overcome a lot.
